Banned Books Week was founded in 1982 by prominent First Amendment and library activist Judith Krug. Krug said that the Association of American Publishers contacted her with ideas to bring banned books to the attention of the American public after a slew of books had been banned that year.
Banned means that a school district/public library/whatever has removed the book so that it is unavailable for patrons because of objections to content, etc. A challenged book is one that has been challenged by someone because of content, whatever, but has not (yet) been removed from use/circulation. If you're really interested in the topic, www.ala.org, the American Library Association's website has tons of information on banned books and the freedom to read. Every year they sponsor a Banned Book Week and update the list of the year's most banned and challenged works.
